"What On Earth Will You Do" lyrics

What On Earth Will You Do

Will you walk another mile?
Turn a frown with a smile?
Will you lift the lowly heart
About to break?

Would you also give your cloak
To one who took away your coat?
What on earth will you do
For heaven's sake?

Would you feed the poor in spirit
And befriend the prosecuted?
Will you show the bounds
How all the chains can break?

Did you sow the proper seed?
Will you walk among the weeds?
What on earth will you do
For heaven's sake?

Did you turn the other cheek?
Are you counted with the meek?
Would you give a little more
Than you could take?

Will you shine your little light
On the children of the night?
What on earth will you do
For heaven's sake?

Will you feed the poor in spirit
And befriend the prosecuted?
Will you show the bounds
How all the chains can break?

Did you sow the proper seed?
Will you walk among the weeds?
What on earth will you do
For heaven's sake?
